Indian Ports strikes update: The December 17 port workers' strike in India has been postponed after the government approved a five-year labor agreement, including wage revisions and rewards. All major ports will implement the settlement, easing labor tensions and averting supply chain disruptions. Unions and industry stakeholders welcomed the resolution.

More update about the ports strike by India’s Major Port Workers' Unions: Dockworkers in India have threatened an indefinite strike at all major ports starting December 17. We have updated an overview of ports that will likely be impacted. More details can be found at our latest post: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8Wft8ny For any support needed or any questions in general about this, contact us at India@s-5.org. Industry insiders believe the strike is unlikely or may have limited impact. Government-operated ports would be the primary targets, but many of these ports outsource work to non-union workers, reducing potential disruption. Private ports and terminals are expected to remain unaffected, which noted that operations at privately run facilities will continue as usual. (Reference: https://lnkd.in/e9ES4UsR) #shippingnews #portnews #portsupdates #S5AgencyWorld

When everyone is getting excited about the upcoming Christmas but I'm more exciting about the three out of the four Cunard vessels coming to town. 12th December #QueenMary2 in Rotterdam. Last time I have seen her was from the cable car going up to table mountain Cape Town during a load shedding close to the top. 18th December #QueenAnne in Rotterdam 31st December ##QueenVictoria in Amsterdam overnight during NYE The Queen Elizabeth is sailing on the other side of the world. Last time she was in the Netherlands was 2019. This was also the first cruise vessel I visited with my youngest daughter. Think I planted a small seed which led going to Nautical college. Will bring her onboard Queen Mary 2 so she will have seen all four. Ofcourse also looking forward about the other vessel coming this month from Phoenix Reisen GmbH Ambassador Cruise Line AIDA Cruises and P&O Cruises. We don't have a cruise season these days but handle them all year round. Cruise Port Rotterdam Cruise Port Amsterdam S5 Agency World Ltd #WeAreCruise

Indian port workers are considering a strike starting December 17, citing the government's failure to implement promised benefits following earlier negotiations. The strike, led by six labor federations, aims to pressure authorities to enforce agreements on wage hikes, pensions, and retroactive rewards. The strike could disrupt operations at state-run ports. We are monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates as needed.
